    Personally I have no issue at all with outright speed. But things I do not tolerate (and that means I throw my toys out the cot and if people dont like it then tough shit) is
    undercutting.
    passing on blinds.
    dropping in on corners.

    I am a bit more PC but will mention things like passing too close to oncoming traffic and dropping in on cars in corners.

    What is undercutting? (Passing on the left of another bike?).
    And I've no idea what dropping in on corners is.
    Please relieve me of my ignorance, thanks.

    just to quote myself and explain terms we may just use down here.

    Undercutting is passing on the left on the corner. Actually passing on the left is unacceptable anywhere but especially dangerous on corners.
    Dropping in on a corner is what Shadows suggests. Out braking someone on a corner and laying the bike over right in front of them. It is plain stupid cause not only does it mean 1 rider is going into the corner really hot but it also screws up the other riders view of the corner and their line. It is basically the reserve of undercutting someone but on a left hand corner but staying in one lane. Alot of the time it is perfectly safe to go round the outside of someone on a left hand corner using the other lane. "Dropping in on someone" is the use of one lane only.
    And passing on blinds - is just that. Overtaking on a blind corner where if something was coming the other way chances are both riders will be taken out.

    Hope that explains
